We are neither a politician, nor
the step child of a prophet, but
it looks like Jack Slaton for Gov
ernor.
If that Big Eight that the con
vention turned loose on the peo
ple of Georgia represent th«
‘‘true democracy”, it makes us
shudder to think of the resuli
had Roosevelt carried the State.
If the recall of Judges, Solici
tors, Congressmen, etc., is a good
thing, it would be a better thing
to make it a misdemeanor foi
some candidates to offer forth«
job.
When a $7,500 congressman
can spend SIOO,OOO for a few
presidential delegates when he k
not running for the job, it is no
surprise that a lot of $2.50 fel
lows are running for Congress.
When Joe Hill Hall becomes
Governor of Georgia he will stop
the needless extravagance of pub
lishing that bunch of side whis
kers at the experiment farm
every Monday morning.
That’s all stuff about having
the elections every four years.
We country folks enjoy an elec
tion better than preaching with
dinner on the ground. Besides, '
it has a polite effect upon the
officers.
If Roosevelt is elected Presi
dent, it will then be in order for
every honest man to lock his
smoke house, buy an Iverson
Johnson and borrow a cur, re
gardless of the license on the I-V
or the tax on the dog.
We have read Julian Britches
McCurry’s political pedigree in '
the Senate, page and pro tern.,
so often published on his visits
to Atlanta, that we are persuad
ed that nbthing but a thorough
bred mule is entiled to a pedi
gree.
A fellow name James who is
running for Railroad Commis
sioner wishes all the votes in
Henry and Clayton counties be
cause he and his wife were born
in thosp counties. He should
make the wish unanimous, by
wishing all the votes in Georgia
because his child was born there.
When a fellow can’t cuss a
nigger in English without being
accused of peonage, nor a Cath
olic in Latin without being ar
rested for libel, who in the dick
ens may he cuss ? Brothi r Book
er Washington and Father Pope
seem to have ’fluence with that
U. S. crowd.
•
The Atlanta fellow who cusses
the Governor of South Carolina
aver a long distance telephone
frank and then hides behind the
Georgia Governor to escape pros
ecution, is too much of a feather
.veight to get into a wordy war
with Tom Watson.
This crowning-the-queen-busi
ness makes a fellow tired. Peo
ple who will crowd and jam to
see a pretty girl and'a crowd of
fool men try to imitate royalty
ire not living up to the traditions
of free born America. We would
much prefer seeing a blue ribbon
pinned on the boy who raised the
most corn per acre, or on the
prize pig at a county fair-with
apologies both the boy and the
pig-
If Jack Slaton did pull off that
Tom E., Tom 8., and Billy B.
delegation on the people of Geor
gia without causing an explosion
of the honest farmers who car
ried the state for Underwood, he
is some diplomat. If he succeeds
in keeping this bunch from de
serting the party, then he is
some more than a diplomat—he’s
a politician.
Some folks with a few dollars
and no sense are trying to raise
a fund to put a monument, over
Archie Butts, where he aint buri
ed, just because he had the price
to get drowned on a $10,000,000
ship, A fellow dropped dead the
other day from over work laying
brick at $2.00 per, but only a
mound of clay and a board at the
foot and head for him--but he’s
the hero anyway.

Announcements
TO THE WHITE VOTERS OF
WILKINSON COUNTY.
I am a candidate to succeed
myself as judge of the Dublin
Circuit. The primary will oc
cur next August, but as the
dockets of the Superior courts
of this Circuit contain many
cases, and as I shall endeavor to
catch up the business of the
courts, I may not have an op
portunity of seeing you and dis
cussing with you in person, the
matter of my candidacy; there
fore I write this card.
I held the position as judge
of the city court of Dublin for
three years, during which time
the dockets and minutes of that
court show that more cases
were tried, and more business
disposed of than in any four
years prior to the time Invent
on the bench.
I shall strive to discharge the
duties of judge of the Superior
courts fairly and impartially, do
equal rights to the poor and the
; rich, dispose of the business as
rapidly as I can, with as little
expense to the county and as lit
tle trouble and annoyance to
the people as possible. If I do
this, should I be defeated after
only one year’s service? If I
do this, am I not entitled, as a
matter of fairness and right to
a full term of four years?
Sincerely yours,
K. J. HAWKINS.
To the Voters of the Dublin
Judicial Circuit:
I respectfully announce my
candidacy for the office of soli
citor general of this circuit, sub
ject to the action of the Demo
cratic primary.
M. J. CARSWELL.
Jeffersonville, Ga., Feb. 3, 1912.
FOR SOLICITOR
To the Voters of the Dublin Ju
dicial Circuit:
I am a candidate for the office
of solicitor general of the Dublin
judicial circuit, subject to the re
sult of the primary election to
be held in 1912. In event of my
election I shall strive to dis
charge the duties of the office
rigidly, impartially and faith
fully.
I belive that a solicitor should
prosecute the rich and the poor,
the high and low alike. No,
man’s money, nor his social or
political standing should be used
to defeat the ends of justice;
that all who violate the law
should be made to endure its
penalty.
I am in favor of abolishing
the fee system, placing solici
tors general on a salary, run
ning the courts with dispatch
and economy, strict and due en
forcement of the law, rigid Ob
servance of the election law,
stamping out and forever oblit
erating the use of liquor and
money in elections; a healthy
sentiment that is the exponent
of the honesty and supremacy
of law and good government.
I respectfully solicit the suf
frage of ail the voters of the
circuit.
Yours truly,
E. L. STEPHENS.

J. E. BURCH.

law a specialty, I hope to be able,

NEIGHBOR, IS YOUR LIFE INSURED? YES.

BUSINESS MAN.
One More Question We
Would Ask You: Is Your
Money Insured?
HAD YOU EVER THOUGHT OF THAT?
HOW ABOUT THAT MONEY THAT IS LYING BACK IN THE
TRUNK? IS IT INSURED? IF NOT, YOU ARE THE PERSON WE
ARE LOOKING FOR.
| WE OFFER YOU A SAFE PLACE TO LEAVE YOUR MONEY
WHERE IT 18 INSURED AGAINST LOSS. NOT SIMPLY FROM
FIRE, FROM ROBBERS AND THE LIKE, BUT INSURED AGAINST
LOSS.
THAT WORD, LOSS, COVERS THE WHOLE CATEGORY OF
LOSSES. A FELLOW DOES NOT HAVE TO GET HIS MONEY
BURNED UP TO LOSE, HE DOES NOT EVEN HAVE TO BE HELD

BAD LOAN AND LOSES. WHAT IS 7M2 EipFLRENCE IF HE
LOSES IT?
